Looks a bit big for me to use as a commuter however... the sprint seems to like that duty.

Rumors are floating around on the Sport-Touring sites about the end of Yamaha's Priority Delivery Program (PDP) for the FJR thanks to the new Concourse.

Personally, the biggest thing that's kept me from seriously considering an FJR is the fact that I can't go see one in person, let alone request a test ride on one.

Strange thing is the FJR and ST really don't do it for me ...now a 'super' XX with some touring tack would get my interest.

But until then...this bike has my Fit budget on lock.

I like the front end of that bike far better then the present zx-14...I think thats what gives it so much appeal.

Mah... Aprilia had the Futura out years ago that looked a lot like this. Cool looking tourer, just nothing new.

Re: 2008 Concourse 14...

Thanks for the pics... I think the headlights are too small though.

WTF is with all the flamer paintjobs?

That new ZX6r is trying way too hard to look like a Ducati from behind.

And that would be the first thing to go...

BUT-

I'm still waiting on a new model XX, or an old XX even.

The Concourse 14 doesn't exactly float my boat.

Right now my priorities are all out of whack anyway, house hunting, family crap....maybe by 2008, who knows.
